First off, this should not be an issue because typically your Settings file is not replaced during a Repair Install or Upgrade, which is the recommended procedure. However, it is common that the first time you open the new Viewer, it will update your settings file but not change your settings.

Any custom queries or settings created in Enviro Date are stored in the Settings file and this file needs to be converted for use in the new version.

1. Open the Version 8 VIEWER,
2. Click on Attach Database,
3. Click on Attach Settings,
4. Select the C:\Enviro\Edata8\Settings8.mdb file,
5. You will see a message informing you that Enviro Data needs to update the Settings file.
6. Click “Yes”. 
7. After the update finishes, rename the file to something more relevant to Version 8 and move it to the C:\Enviro\Edata8 folder.
